Also kinda unstable. WSL2 maybe 2 months post release bricked (edit: as in had to wipe and restore) my Lenovo laptop. Wasn’t too bad to reinstall but still seems a bit immature.



How did WSL2 ruin your windows install?

As an aside: I normally use "bricked" to mean "entirely unusable as a computing device"


BSOD and could not restore. To install wsl you have to enable windows insiders beta patches as part of install process. Had to external drive boot and wipe.


Installing insider preview (beta) is done with your responsibility, not responsible by WSL2. Of course WSL2 is now supported in Windows stable.
